How is fatty liver disease diagnosed?

My cousin just got diagnosed with fatty liver, and she's quite worried. She had no symptoms before this. How is fatty liver disease diagnosed, and what are the typical tests for it?

My fatty liver was caught during an ultrasound when I had persistent stomach ache. Don't ignore it because it can lead to worse liver issues if left unchecked. Please consult a doctor immediately and get an LFT blood test done.

I know how scary it feels when you suspect something is wrong with your liver. But actually, diagnosing fatty liver is very simple and routine. Usually, a basic abdominal ultrasound and a Liver Function Test (LFT) are all they need to find out.

When my teenager was diagnosed with mild fatty liver, our doctor did an ultrasound first. They also checked his cholesterol and liver enzymes through blood tests. It's very manageable with a proper home-cooked diet and active play.

I have been managing Grade 2 fatty liver for two years now. Diagnosis is mostly done via an ultrasound scan, and sometimes a FibroScan if they want to check liver stiffness. Cut down on sugar and walk daily; your liver will recover.

A simple ultrasound scan of the abdomen will reveal the condition of the liver. Let us keep our minds calm and positive while the doctors do their job. Eating simple, pure food will help the body heal itself naturally.

Honestly, a lot of my friends got diagnosed with fatty liver during routine office health checkups. It's very common these days due to our junk food habits. An ultrasound and some blood tests are all it takes, so don't worry too much!

My doctor suggested an ultrasound because I have been feeling bloated and tired lately. Did anyone else get diagnosed this way? I am a bit anxious about what the scan might show.
